What should I do if my GM converter lock up?
NEVER run the vehicle in gear when supported only with a jack. Chock the drive wheels and apply the parking brake. In addition, some of the tests (test #11 and 12) require the transmission be opened and the valves are physically inspected. I do not recommend that you do this.
What are the transmission problems on a GMC Jimmy?
Got a 2000 GMC Jimmy 4×4 automatic. Transmission felt like it was slipping or surging. My old mechanic checked it out and said it wasnt slipping, but he thought it wasnt shifting when it was supposed to. He said it was waiting too long to shift gears and would jump in and out of overdrive several times before locking in.
